Grab-and-Go Golf: Ship Clubs to Local Meetings

An online service ships golf clubs to and from resorts, lightening the load for event attendees.

Many conventions and meetings include a golf outing, but lugging clubs across the country is a drag for attendees. Enter Ship Sticks, which specializes in shipping golf clubs to and from resorts. The process is managed online and includes door-to-door home pickup and resort drop-off. Through a partnership with FedEx and U.P.S., which offer volume discounts to corporate customers, the service may be more affordable than other methods of transport (prices start from $39 per bag). Bonus: If the resort hosting your meeting is one of the 15,000 with which the company works, guests can simply leave their bags in the hotel room and the resort staff will handle the labeling and shipping.
